Day two of the expedition brought the first radio transmission from the Sound Development City Radio Bus. While riding the heavy bus through the narrow streets of Lisboa, South African sound artist, curator and networker Malose Malahlela was interviewed on his work, his background and the division lines between being a sound artist and a curator / networker.

On the evening of day three, artists and spectators gathered at the extraordinary Mãe D’ Água cistern for a sound performance by Tunnelmusik.

After a lot of preparations, the Sound Development City expedition has started. The 13 selected international artists doc­u­ment the ex­ped­i­tion and the pro­gress of the pro­jects daily by post­ing sounds, im­ages, texts and thoughts on the expedition’s logbook website.

An old camper van, converted into a radio studio, accompanies the expedition. In daily broadcasts the participants are interviewed on their background and work. Daily transmission via FM, live stream and upload at 7.30 pm on the Radiobus’ project website. The broadcasting times, the FM Frequencies and the URL of the live streams will be published on Facebook and Twitter.

During the Sound Development City expedition, there will be public events as well as artist performances in both Lisbon and Marseille. All dates, schedules and venues will be published on the logbook website, on Facebook and Twitter.

This year’s Sound Development City expedition in Lisbon and Marseille starts on 23rd September. As of now, a new logbook website is online, developed in co-operation with Astrom/Zimmer. Based on the idea of an expedition logbook, the website faces the challenges of documenting our experimental format by allowing all participants to send text, sound, images and videos to their projects’ archive via various channels.

Two of this year’s projects are still looking for participants in Lisbon and Marseille:

• P.O.S.T. by Valeria Schwarz | Registration
• text2field-recordings by Wolfgang Dorninger | Registration Lisbon | Registration Marseille

Follow the expedition on the logbook website, on Facebook and on Twitter.

Just like last year, we were delighted about the creativity and originality of the about 200 submissions which we received from a great variety of artistic backgrounds and from all around the globe. The international jury under the direction  of Martin Heller was confronted with the challenging task of selecting the most exciting submissions for Sound Development City’s second edition.

Sound Development City geht in die zweite Runde.

Im Fokus der diesjährigen Ausgabe von Sound Development City steht der Süden Europas. Mit Marseille und Lissabon führt die Expedition in zwei altehrwürdige Städte, wo im Wellengang der aktuellen Wirtschaftsdauerkrise grosse kulturelle und gesellschaftliche Spannungen spürbar sind.

Die eingeladenen KünstlerInnen haben die Möglichkeit, sich im Herbst während zweier siebentägiger Aufenthalte differenziert mit der gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Situation dieser Städte auseinanderzusetzen und mit ihren künstlerischen Arbeiten einen Beitrag zum bestehenden Diskurs zu leisten.

Für diese künstlerische Forschungsreise könnt ihr euch ab sofort auf der Projektwebsite bewerben. Wir freuen uns auf spannende Ideen und Projekte.
